Numbers 26:48-65 ▼

48 The sons of Naphtali by their clans: Of Jahzeel, the clan of the Jahzeelite; of Guni, the clan of the Gunite,

49 of Jezer, the clan of the Jezerite; of Shillem, the clan of the Shillemite.

50 These were the clans of Naphtali by their clans; and their numbered ones were five and forty thousand and four hundred.

51 These were numbered ones of the sons of Israel, six hundred thousand and a thousand seven hundred and thirty.

52 And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,

53 “To these land shall be divided as an inheritance by the number of names.

54 To the many you shall increase their inheritance, and to the few you shall diminish their inheritance; each according to their numbered shall be given its inheritance.

55 But by lot the land shall be divided; by the names of the tribes of their fathers they shall inherit.

56 According to mouth, the lot of their inheritance shall be divided between many and few.”

57 And these are the numbered ones of the Levite by their clans: Of Gershon, the clan of the Gershonite; of Kohath, the clan of the Kohathite; of Merari, the clan of the Merarite.

58 These are the clans of Levi: The clan of the Libnite, the clan of the Hebronite, the clan of the Mahlite, the clan of the Mushite, and the clan of the Korahite. And Kohath begat Amram.

59 And the name of the wife of Amram was Jochebed daughter of Levi, who was born to Levi in Egypt. And she bore to Amram Aaron and Moses and Miriam their sister.

60 And were born to Aaron Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.

61 And Nadab and Abihu died when they offered strange fire before the face of YHWH.

62 And their numbered ones were three and twenty thousand, every male from a son of a month and above; for they were not numbered in the midst of the sons of Israel, because no inheritance was given to them in the midst of the sons of Israel.

63 These were numbered by Moses and Eleazar the priest, who numbered the sons of Israel in the plains of Moab by the Jordan opposite Jericho.

64 And among these there was not a man of those numbered by Moses and Aaron the priest when they numbered the sons of Israel in the Wilderness of Sinai.

65 For YHWH had said of them: They will surely die in the wilderness. And there was not left a man of them except Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun.
